I strongly recommend you to install Windows and Linux independently on
separate disks. The trick is to make Windows believe that it is sitting
on the master drive, while it indeed is on the slave :-). See
http://www.bioxray.dk/~mok/dual-boot.html for a more detailed
description!

There are many advantages to this approach, most importantly you can
always change the setup without having to repartition *shudder*.

Cheers,
